A couple of questions...

How many of you occasionally feel a fairly significant pull to the left when braking?

Also, how many of you have a steering wheel that is slightly off to the right when tracking straight?

Neither have them.

Most of them are only caused by the uneven roads.

Neither one for me. Maybe you should have them check the alignment? Did you hit a curb by accident?

The pull to the right could be the crappy BS tires, several have posted that the dealer switch sides with the tires then the car pulled to the left, this is not an uncommon problem (but not normal either and tires should be replaced) with tires from what I have read on tire sites and speaking with tire shops.

The pull could be the tires I suppose. It doesn't seem to be consistent. I'll try to focus on whether or not the road is uneven when this occurs.

As to the wheel being off to the right, it is clearly mounted that way. Just wondered how common it was and also whether it could be fixed.

I recall someone mentioning the steering wheel problem but couldn't find the thread.

Youngmic,

To fix the steering wheel issue, have your dealer do the following:

1) Check tire pressure. Mine was too high ...
2) Do a full 4 - wheel alignment
3) Adjust the steering one "tooth" ("spline") to the left.

Good Luck!

the road surface can also cause the symptoms you are describing...

No problems with my 6MT. I think you need alignment for the pulling and steering adjustment for align it straigt as talked above.
